Does clutter always seem to make your home less attractive? It can be hard to cut clutter, but it is possible to organize your home without spending a ton. When you have a space for everything, it’s much easier to keep the clutter to a minimum and your home will look much cleaner. If you’re looking for some organizing ideas, these solutions are both easy and affordable.
Shelves
One way to get things organized is to invest in a few shelves. Many times you can go to a home improvement store and pick up some simple shelves for cheap. Get as many shelves as you need for organizing your knick-knacks, books, movies and even clothes. If the shelves don’t match with your home’s decor, you can rectify that by painting the shelf an accent color.
Baskets
After you’ve finished investing in some shelves, grab a few small baskets and start organizing. You can usually find baskets with adorable print at any store or even resale store. These baskets lend some cheer to your home’s decor and they’re the perfect place to store small items that would otherwise get in the way.
Crates
Crates are another way you can get your household items organized while adding a touch of style to your decor. You can easily find wooden crates to store items in and you can even stack them to serve the double purpose as a bookcase. These can even be mounted on your wall as a shelf alternative, making this organizing tool a versatile piece to have on hand.
Storage Ottoman
It might seem obvious, but a storage ottoman is great for your living room items. You can store any magazines, remotes or even movies in this ottoman so they’re out of the way until you need them. You can buy a storage ottoman at the store or you can find a DIY project for making your own. Regardless of how you get this multi-purpose piece of furniture, the fact is you’ll love the storage it offers while accenting your home decor.
Under the Bed Organizers
This is a great organizing solution for the bedroom. Many times our bedrooms and closets can get disorganized and cluttered due to the fact that guests don’t see it and we use it every day. A lot of times, unused items get in the way of what we actually do use. Under the bed organizers are perfect for this because you can pack up any items you don’t use and put it where you won’t see it. The items are still easily accessible in case of an emergency, but otherwise you don’t need to worry about them cluttering up the bedroom.

Great tips. I love baskets! I use them in the kids rooms….seems that is the easiest way to organize. I also love hooks! Great way to hang towels, back packs, umbrellas, shower stuff. I am a hook junkie. And now they come in all kinds of sizes and colors….even brushed nickel. That and my label maker are my big organizing tools.
